Laser interferometer for high-precision simultaneous measurement and calibration of length, pitch angle, yaw angle and straightness on positioning axes
• flexible length measuring system of highest accuracy
• highly accurate length measurements over long distances
• synchronous, continuous and, in conjunction with an optional roll angle sensor, 6 DoF measurements of length, pitch and yaw angles, and straightness
• easy handling and adjustment due to integrated beam direction detection
• large tilt invariance of the measuring reflector
• beam distance: 50 mm
• horizontal and vertical straightness component measurable by swiveling optics
• extensive trigger options
• open interfaces for OEM software under Windows and Linux
• calibration software according to the currently valid standards
The highly accurate dynamic acquisition of guiding characteristics of machine axes as well as the subsequent standard-compliant calibration are a very labor- and time-intensive process, which ultimately leads to a high positioning accuracy.
The SP 15000 C6 NG calibration laser interferometer was specially developed to meet the requirements of manufacturers of coordinate measuring machines and high-precision machine tools. It enables synchronous, continuous and, in conjunction with an optional roll angle sensor, 6 DoF measurements. The measured quantities length, pitch angle, yaw angle and straightness in x- and y-alignment are acquired highly accurately by laser interferometry, using the same highly stable laser frequency in all three length measurement channels.
Complete machine acceptance or volumetric compensation can be implemented using the optional software.
